Who Is Ted Karras’ Pilates Instructor Wife Rachel Karras? Meet the Bengals Center’s Fitness Freak Life Partner

Whether it's a bad game, a bad season, or a bad day in general, Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Ted Karras has his person to go home to. The Bengals are not having a good season this year and this is the perfect opportunity to learn about the partners who give comfort to our burnt-out athletes when they just want to relax and be in loving company.

Karras is married to his college sweetheart, Rachel McCool. The two had intertwined fates, but before we get to the timeline of their relationship, let's get to know Mrs. Karras a bit closely.

Who is Rachel Karras? Rachel's history is not as well defined on the internet as her star NFL husband. However, her social media suggests that she went to the Geneva High School. After graduating, she attended the University of Illinois. This is where Rachel McCool got a degree in Human Development and Family Studies.

She worked in various roles when she started her college degree. Now, Rachel works at the Family Resiliency Center, where she puts her degree to use. But this does not sum up her entire professional life.

Ted Karras' wife is also a fitness lover. According to her LinkedIn, Rachel McCool is also a pilates instructor at the Boston Body Pilates. She started this job in July 2017 and is still going strong.

It looks like fitness and sports were something that the couple found to be common among them when they first met back in college.

When did Ted & Rachel get married? As we mentioned earlier, Rachel attended the University of Illinois. Guess who else did? That's right, the Bengals center pulled up at the institute just a year after Rachel had joined. Her course had her stay there from 2010 to 2014 while Ted Karras experienced college from 2011 to 2015.

The two met at a party in 2013 at the University itself, which Rachel had "crashed" to, according to Karras. Not long after, the duo started making plans together and also began dating.

Five years later, they finally got married in February 2018. As per reports, the couple also welcomed their first daughter earlier this year in April. Their relationship has completed more than a decade and both Rachel and Ted Karras are going strong as the two continue to be the light in each other's lives.
